US-based Nigerian speaks on Trump’s victory
In as much as Mr Donald Trump is the president-elect, there’s nothing like Trump’s America. The United States is bigger than any POTUS. Regardless of the rhetoric that brought him to power, I don’t believe his actions would go against the ideals that has made America the country it is today. The strength of the country is based on the ideals of the founding fathers. And no, he dared not discard them. I certainly don’t think his presidency would spell doom for Nigerians or the African-American community. Even though one is tempted to be cynical, I’m quite optimistic that a Trump presidency would usher in an era of opportunities and economic prosperity for all. Let’s give President Trump a chance.
Understandably, there’s palpable fear of a rise in racism. There will always be discrimination. But I think, find some solace in Trump’s victory speech where he said he would be a president for all. All we can do now is to be optimistic.
